Personal consultations

“In general, I'm very glad there are a lot of conversations about business strategy here. It lets me take in the experience of dozens of different businesses I may never get to take part in, but I do learn how the owners of such projects think. That is priceless. … I also endlessly admire Alexander's ability to listen without judgment and accept all of us, so different, so rough around the edges, sometimes awkward.”

“I've been in the group for 1 month, but by how it feels and by the results, much longer. … Learning business processes with you is a pleasure of its own kind: for the first time I'm enjoying the process, without rushing and without being overly demanding of myself and the team. Thank you for your loving and at the same time result-focused space!”

“In this group a check-up of my goals, concepts and states began. Tangles of mixed-up meanings are coming undone. Starting with the topic of goals, when I realized that I had been trying to squeeze the achievement of my personal goals out of the business, and it could not give me that kind of fulfillment. Simply because a business has other goals. And only after separating goals by area did I breathe out, and clarity came.”

“It turns out that over this time (6 months) I no longer think, looking at my life, in terms of “SO much has already gone by”, lamenting what I missed and afraid that there is a lot ahead I won't have time for. Now I truly feel that “there's still so much ahead!” and I'm glad of the possible new depth of whatever span of life is still to come. … Thank you for these changes and for these 6 months.”

“Personally, it helps me a lot to be able to look at any problem from different sides and aspects. … The answer to my question helped a lot: I did as you said, and I managed to resolve the situation. … It's very valuable to get what you need when you need it, and to make sense in a new way of situations, familiar and not so familiar.”

“Alexander, thank you very much for your intellectual generosity (if I may put it that way). … Alas, in ordinary life the way of thinking and the decision-making scenarios of people of your personal scale are out of reach. The knowledge here is a huge layer of wisdom and meaning…”

“Alexander, I listened to everything, understood which tasks I need to do, and at the same time understood which questions I asked a bit clumsily and which ones I didn't ask you. Thank you very much for the feedback, really great, clear and detailed. … The most important thing I needed to understand and go do, I understood. Thank you very much.”

“I came to understand that the limitation lay in my habitual way of perceiving information and the events around me. I was used to everything having to be concrete and clear-cut, but that's only 1% of what I can take in that way. Everything outside those requirements would be = 0% for me, while in fact there's another 99% of discoveries there.”

“I want to express my gratitude for the meeting. Your answers always surprise me with their depth and many-sidedness, and I don't always find the answer to my questions right away. … You were absolutely right when you said that I brought myself into this state, and now it's my choice whether to stay in it or not.”

“It's interesting how Alexander manages to get across how everything in life is interconnected. And it was new for me that scale is, first of all, a broad perception. Even of the same things in life. I hadn't thought about that. … For example, it was interesting, and I asked myself this question (the context: the business is already 10 years old, I'm tired of it, etc.): “and if you give this business 1-2 days a week, are you okay with it?” And the answer turned out to be yes.”

“Good evening! My mind is blown! Now it's clear why for six months I haven't been able to hire a Marketing Director: some competence or other is always missing! Thank you for the lesson!”

“This is the first place where I love listening to other people's questions. I feel trust and re-listen to all the answers, and I find a lot for myself where I didn't expect it, even in business questions, many of which I don't understand, but as I get into them, I've noticed that I've begun to think differently, more broadly, in my own work. A place where I find silence and calm for myself.”

“For me, comparison has always been a way to see “what could I do differently to get radically different results?” Adjusting for why exactly competitors are developing their company and what their ultimate goal is can fundamentally change the outcome of such a comparison. Thank you.”

“From the very start, as soon as you announced the launch, I wanted to take part: what you share here gives me a foundation in life.”

“Having been with you for more than 4 months now, I see changes in my state. I see my life more broadly, I try to observe, to look at cause and effect. I feel that I have become able to “hold” more people, new ideas, other thoughts and feelings. I have become open to new opportunities that were there before, but it was as if I didn't see them.”

“And for some reason (perhaps for the first time in my life) I don't have the words to properly describe how the meeting felt, and the space that is created here in general. … Such an important question: “What is my next step?” I realized how important it is, and now I ask it of myself every day, when I start the day or take on some task. Thinking in terms of the next step is very focusing and helps me drop the fuss of unnecessary actions.”

“Being in this space is valuable to me precisely because there is no pressure and no manipulation. I'm given the chance to observe myself in different areas of life, without being judged as good or bad. I see where I get knocked out of the student's position, and I also feel that I've begun to hear and perceive more.”

“I wanted to share that over 1.5 months in this group, watching videos on different topics, podcasts, meditations, my sense of life has changed. … And in today's meditation my next step came clearly: that I need to see things through to the end in at least one of my projects, rather than feed the ego with superficial results, creating only noise that leads nowhere.”

“A real discovery for me was the very framing of the question “what stress do I generate for other people?” … I had never looked at life from that angle. … And that day I was in a state I hadn't noticed in a long time: a feeling of calm and of looking at what was happening a little from the outside, as if in a protective suit.”

“I found 2 states for myself: 1) play, creativity, experiments, chaos, and anything goes. I really love this state. 2) we build a system, a foundation, everything clear-cut and structured, no hypotheses, only a built system that works without me. … And I often mix these 2 states automatically, and they get in each other's way. Now I'm learning to separate them and to make sure they don't get in each other's way.”

“Alexander, thank you so much for the answer. Your answer is on a completely different scale. I can't see this myself from where I am now. Thank you, I'll stay with this. I'll listen to your answer again in my different states.”

“Right, it turns out I have no goal and no answer to “Why?” for the project, and meanwhile I'm trying to build a strategy… It's surprising how I missed this question, even though we discussed it in the group and it seemed I knew this area. … Probably, when you're deeply immersed in the product itself, you can't, so to speak, step up a layer and look at the project more globally. … As my next step I'll now set goals and strategies for all of them.”

“How I ended up here … I had probably been looking for this kind of reference point for a long time. I came with a request for business solutions. … But I found something bigger. The request quickly moved from the plane of business to the plane of thinking. … I can say for sure that my state changed almost immediately. It's hard to put into words, but I began to look at what is happening a little differently: more calmly, from different angles. I don't put limits on myself.”

“Quite a lot has changed in my inner state, in the very living through of each day, of life as a whole. … Giving up the constant race. By the way, this had a critical effect on how I run the business and on its numbers (for the better). … Overall, my life has changed a lot. And being here is, for me, a process of liberation (including from ignorance, illusions, passions), a movement toward clarity, neutrality. Thank you.”

“I have definitely become calmer and look at everything more broadly. … I've become calmer about time, I stopped rushing in making decisions and in life in general. I just live calmly. … I managed to separate my businesses, as if on paper, writing out a separate strategy/goals and tasks. … Here in the group I understood that change is a long process. The format where there are no deadlines and no restrictions really clicked for me.”

“Originally I came in for business tools. For the area of professional growth. … After 4 months here I understand that this is much broader than the area of business tools. And I like it. The special emphasis on cause and effect is what I was missing. I'm grateful to this space, in the broad sense of the word.”

“After the meeting an unexpected feeling of calm appeared. That there's no need to fly headlong, to run, to break something. But to pause, look around, breathe out and act on very precisely, in the mode of a “warm master”, not an “angry plowman”. … We go on with interest and desire! Thank you.”

“I listen to the old broadcasts and podcasts in the group. And I find very many answers to my own questions in them. Overall, taking part in the program has transformed and keeps transforming my thinking, my view of the world, and I've found the strength to act. I really like that there are no ready-made answers, since everyone has their own. But Sasha shows a way of thinking that helps find them.”

“Thank you for the answer, Alexander! The puzzle came together: I now have a clear picture of why and what for I'm striving to structure my life right now, and how I should act in this respect. … Your view of the question gave me a coordinate system in which it became easier for me to find my own solution.”

“I really love Sasha for the state he passes on. … It's groundedness, it's fullness, it's a taste for life. … Since then I've begun to talk with my business partner much more sincerely, and I started asking him things like “How is this for you? What do you want?”, whereas before I mostly gave my own assessment: how I see it, whether I like it or not.”

“Then I realized how great it is to be able to talk with you personally about any question. It feels just like getting on a call. … I catch myself thinking that sometimes, when you don't give a specific answer, I want to get one, but then I understand that there is no right answer, every person is individual and only they can find it for themselves, and this “right” answer is not the only one: there are many more.”

“Alexander, thank you. Everything (the texts, your recommendations, the space) works. It's all working out. My strength is coming back. It's becoming clear why you told me personally exactly what you told me. Thank you, the process continues.”

“Alexander, thank you for the audio and for all four months of being led by the hand. I want to listen to and watch everything again. … And it doesn't let go. On the contrary, everything that lives and moves here draws me in. Each time I come back to the chat to look for answers to my questions. Thank you and all the participants for this opportunity.”

“Alexander, the way you set out your thoughts, their striking precision, is like art. I listened and listened again in one breath, thank you.”

“Gratitude for such a deep meeting! A wonderful field with diverse people and points of view. You shed light on it and saw my state of inner chaos right away… that's how it is… I realized that for projects I'm somehow starting to form a vision and a strategy, based on financial goals. But for myself personally, everything is very blurry.”

“What really resonated with me was your thought that it's important to answer honestly for yourself whether I'm ready to do this business right now and for how long, so as to stop tormenting myself with doubts. I'm going to use this tool.”

“Alexander, thank you very much for yesterday's broadcast. For me personally it was useful for understanding cause and effect, and our ability and willingness to see it. An interesting topic was raised: the span of time we spend with the people around us.”

“Thank you! A very useful and practical meeting. Once again you point, from a different angle, to the importance of real goal-setting.”

“Thank you for this group. I've been here from the very beginning and have moved forward a lot in my development, in every direction, it seems to me. I've begun to think and feel differently, and there's still room to grow!”

“The topic of partnership that came up is incredibly interesting and complex. I couldn't even imagine it had so many details and forks. And how important it is to know them BEFORE going deep into that experience, so as to go in more consciously. … Separating goals is a real discovery. Indeed, in most cases a lot is lumped together where it should be separated for clarity in decision-making.”

“Alexander, thank you for this group. I didn't ask many questions, but I took every recommendation of yours and put it into practice. It meant a great deal to me. Thank you with all my heart.”

“I've started taking breaks in the middle of the day, as you said, Alexander. Just walking, thinking about something else. And now I've also decided to try spending days with different entrepreneurs, to broaden my perception of how people actually “work”. I've already spent a whole day with 4 of them as a shadow, not distracting them, just being present.”

“What I like about this format in general is that these aren't superficial breakdowns like “run ads, pour in traffic”, “launch an affiliate program, hire a head of sales, buy leads at a higher price” and all that, but the analysis happens on a qualitatively different layer, it touches the fundamental things of how everything works. … For me it really develops thinking in other categories. Thank you!”

“I want to share my reflection. Closing the month, I felt an unusual lightness and no anxiety. … This positive feeling stayed even when I was counting up my results. Interestingly, a year ago this month was more successful for me, but now I still feel good and I'm not worried.”

“An amazing sense of fullness after interacting with you! And by the way, I noticed that in answering my question you hit right on my personal situation, which really matters to me!”
